When viewing netflix on firefox, a gap of about an inch from top to bottom of the screen is present when going to fullscreen.

Youtube, other flash players, and media players works fine full screen. IE plays netflix fine. The laptop is new, HP Pavilion dv6. All audio and video drivers have been updated. Firefox and ms silverlight updated. Tried un-installing and re-installing silverlight. The following link has pictures in the first post of exactly what I'm experiencing. http://www.hv20.com/showthread.php?43957-HP-Laptop-Full-Screen-Issue

I agree with the consensus in that other support thread, it looks like a Silverlight problem.

I agree, but as netflix plays fine full screen in IE, there is a problem with how Silverlight is working with firefox. It acts as if it is occupying the full screen (no parts cut out) but there is still that annoying gap. I'm wondering if anybody else has come across this problem, or more importantly, a way to fix it.
